Delhi-NCR MUG: Topcoder Meetup, MongoDB Schema Design & GraphQL with MongoDB

Thanks, everyone for attending! In case you couldn’t attend here’s the event summary:

It was great to see Topcoder and MongoDB Communities as well as teams coming together to put together an event with some exciting workshop sessions, informational sessions as well as an inspiring story of S Deepak Kumar 's grit and passion who coming from a very small village in India, self-taught himself programming and won a global hackathon.

The event started with Topcoder’s Community Manager, Jessie, and me kicking off the event and welcoming everyone. Later Jessie shared and awarded Topcoder’s regional award winners.

It was followed by a session by @Aasawari and @Kushagra_Kesav. It began with an initial emphasis on the factors to consider while modeling your application and later they used Bookmyshow’s example to show how designing application schema is faster and easier with a code-first approach of data modeling with MongoDB.

We also had a mini competition :trophy: towards the end - where attendees were asked to design a MongoDB database schema for an e-commerce website. It was great to see the community interacting and learning in between the sessions and competitions. We are working on the results and will share the winners asap!

We also had a quick workshop-styled session by Topcoder MVP @Sharathkumar_Anbu who spoke about changing trend data retrieval from RESTful API’s to GraphQL and backed that with a demo of how GraphQL query language gives developers a single API endpoint to access exactly the data they need. The code repo from the demo is available here

Also for further reading on GraphQL do check out @SourabhBagrecha’s blog that can help you create your own Expense Manager App using MongoDB Atlas GraphQL API.


The event ended with Pizzas :pizza:, conversations, and a great event photo! (MUG Delhi-NCR is a clear winner when it comes to group photos :smiley: )
